About this map

Kaniksu National Forest straddles the state line between Washington and Idaho in this 1960s topographic study, showcasing a remote landscape defined by the drainage of North Fork Granite Creek and its many tributaries. The area is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Orwig Hump and Diamond Peak, along with the Lookout Tower Indian Mtn which served as a critical vantage point for fire detection in the mid-century forest service era.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through several named Pack Trails and a Jeep Trail that wind through the timbered slopes. High-altitude wetlands and basins like Sema Meadows, Mountain Meadows, and the small Huff Lake provide contrast to the steep ridgelines. The map also records the exact border between Pend Oreille and Bonner counties, as well as the transition from Washington into Idaho.
